Oro Grande's School Counseling Program
At Oro Grande we are building a pro-active, preventative school counseling program to benefit all students. We use the Toolbox Project curriculum for weekly classroom lessons. Many times we discuss our school's virtues as they relate to the tools. If you ever have questions or comments, please contact Miss Martin. Contact information is at the end of this newsletter. Thank you!
Fortitude
Fortitude is one of Oro Grande Classical Academy's virtues. One definition is courage when facing pain or adversity. Synonyms are courage , determination and bravery. Children can learn about courage through literature and then relate it to their own lives.
This month in the classrooms, I will be teaching and reviewing the Patience Tool and the Courage Tool. We will discuss that patience is waiting quietly. Many different examples will be shared. Courage , from Latin cor ("heart"), means to act with "heart." Acting with courage is following one's heart. Older students will be given scenarios that depict friends with poor behaviors, and how they can be courageous and do the right thing.
